About This Movie

Broken is a raw look at the harsh realities facing women and girls in Kayah State, Myanmar, where violence is a painful norm. Khin San Win, in her directorial debut, weaves her own story with that of another woman from her village, creating a haunting atmosphere that lingers long after viewing. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the weight of their experiences to settle in. It’s not flashy; there's an authenticity in the way the subjects speak about their trauma that feels very personal. The film’s strength lies in its ability to expose difficult truths without sensationalizing them. It’s a stark reminder of the struggles many face, making it a distinct voice in the realm of documentary filmmaking.
